How can I go for aesthetic treatment without worsening my rosacea?

Doctor's Answer

Rosacea can often be persistent with occasional flares. It is important to avoid triggers such as sun exposure, heat, spicy foods, and alcohol.

A simple skincare regime aiming at hydrating and protecting the skin can be very helpful. Medicated creams such as rozex gel or mirvaso can be useful in some patients. If your skin is red with red spots as well, then oral medicines such as antibiotics or isotretinoin can be added to improve control.

Lastly, the VBEAM laser is excellent at improving the redness, broken red vessels and has the added bonus of rejuvenating the skin at the same time.
